This surprised me as after i had sat my RT i was told that we would not be undertaking the later tests (Medical and PJFT) until closer to the time that we would be joining. So seen as i have been reading all these threads about freezing recruitment and longer waiting times, i can only assume they have stopped waiting to do the medical and PJFT and are doing it earlier as i sat my RT about 4 months ago. Perhaps it's a case of them trying to thin the ranks by making people take the tests now and booting out the ones who fail?

I sat my RT in August and have just booked my medical today for next tuesday. It's been pretty quick to be honest. They said the same to me when I found out I'd passed my RT. He basically said to me this morning that all aplicants at this stage going in for medicals ect, are in a "pending" stage and will be until the date for a PJFT comes up, he said probrably about 6 months time for that so to just keep my fitness ticking over. I don't think it's a case of who doesn/t make the cut wont get In, I just think they are trying to get as much as possible done In preperation for the closure of raleigh and all the back log they would have to deal with afterwards maybe?

Good luck with medical, not that It's a matter of luck !

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up, i should have asked while on the phone but i was just so surprised and a million things were racing through my mind at the time.

"I don't think" being at the begining of that sentance says it all really doesn't it mate.

Your conjecture is not exactly 'horse's mouth' is it you weird cock-chasing retard? Leave the advise on what is happening in the background to the two people on here who know what they're talking about; Ninja and Supermario.

I didn't say horses mouth did I. What I typed was put in my own words as not to write, he said she said he said she said as that was what my AFCO said to me this morning. I'm glad you think your clever just calling people all the time on this site, like you have nothing better to do. Well best shut your gob then and leave it to them and **** off laying into youngins on this site you absolute cock.

I'm not laying in to the 'youngins'. I'm laying in to mindless freaks like you, who not so long ago thought it was a good idea to post your personal details and elements of your medical history all over this site for all to see. Undermining you on here is probably an act of enormous help to the poor 'youngins' who might actually listen to your inane dribblings.
